Hi there
i am curious of where people get their replacement lenses for their co2 lasers.
So far i tried Cloudray but their meniscus lenses are performing worse than the original plano-convex lens i got with my Omtech.
So if you have any recommendations i would appreciate to hear them.

I got my first replacement tube from Cloudray and the lastest from Light Object in the Pacific NW in the USA.
The tube itself is from SPT in China.
I’m sure they make them somewhere besides China, but I don’t know where and how much extra it would cost..
Maybe @bernd.dk can help, at least he’s on your side of the world.
Good luck.
For several reasons, it is more common in the EU to shop through Amazon for goods that come from China. Partly because there is a certain buyer protection and the tax problem is also solved this way of shopping. (Typically, goods are sent from a warehouse/sales partner within the EU)
I shop without problems with Cloudray and OMT via Amazon, Machines and spare parts such as lenses, mirrors, CW5000…
However, you can also buy laser accessories and machines from independent European companies, but the products come from the same manufacturer in China and the price is at least double, but then you get a certificate that the machine has an approved door switch or is controlled in the EU…
I have my eye on a UV laser with autofocus, the smallest version, 5Watt costs 12964 USD in DK - the same machine, (but without autofocus), otherwise costs 3000 USD on Amazon-EU!
